Some of you might have heard about the creature called the Slender Man, who has recently come to the attention of researchers on the internet. Of most interest to me is Logan R——, who maintains a blog called Just Another Fool. Logan came into the possession of a notebook that belonged to his friend Matt Selby. Matt had a run-in with the Slender Man when he was stationed in Iraq earlier this year. Upon returning home, Matt died while in a hospital.

Once the notebook came into his possession, Logan began to act erratically, and eventually went missing, as the readers of his blog learned from his friend Joshua A—-. Logan has remained in contact with Slender Man investigators through cryptic blog entries and voice mail messages on a prepaid cellphone.

Terrible veg*n confession: I am dreadful at curries. I sit there and taste them over and over, thinking “what have I done wrong this time? It’s missing something!” And inevitably, I end up overseasoning them, and then force myself to eat them anyway.

And yet I keep experimenting, because one day I will make the perfect curry.

The press release describes The Wolf House as “Twilight for punks,” but as Wolf House-reader Beckah said:

…it could just as easily be called “Twilight for feminists” or “Twilight for queers” or “Twilight for people who really like monster movies” or “Twilight for people who don’t — well, ok, who do think that stalking can be kind of sexy, especially if it’s a vampire, but only if the author admits it’s kind of creepy too” or “Twilight for people who think everything would be better with kittens in.”

I tend to bristle at the desire to call any YA vampire book a “Twilight for [audience]” since Twilight was actually “A YA vampire book for Mormons,” but let’s not sweat it.
